When the head gasket fails, these channels are no longer sealed, which can result in coolant leaks, oil leaks or gases escaping from the combustion chamber. A blown head gasket happens when the engine overheats, causing an increase in thermal pressure which puts immense strain on the gasket.
What causes head gaskets to fail?
Head gasket failures are usually caused by repeated overheating, or continuing to drive after the car has overheated, so the best way to prevent a head gasket failure is to ensure your cooling system is in good condition.
How do I know if my Headgasket is blown?
- External leaks of coolant from under the exhaust gasket.
- Overheating under the hood.
- Smoke blowing from the exhaust with a white-ish tint.
- Depleted coolant levels with no trace of leakage.
- Bubble formations in the radiator and overflow compartment.
- Milky discoloration of the oil.
